Jun Haoyue couldn't help but sigh.

"That statement is indeed true. Women are unpredictable."

The next day, Xu Xingchen and other women gathered together to work again.

They originally worked in a bungalow, but it was too stuffy inside, so they moved outside under a tree, working while chatting in the breeze.

"Wow, you're all working here! You're really brave."

As a voice was heard, everyone looked towards the source of the voice.

I saw Zhang Xiaochun standing not far away.

She had a mocking smile on her face. "Since we're all from the same village, I urge you to stop and get your deposit back! The county magistrate's daughter isn't someone you can fool around with; she's got very high standards! Don't let the dress you've made get over there, and she won't be able to choose from it, and you won't even get your deposit back!"

Xu Xingchen raised her head. She had been in a bad mood these past two days because of the mung bean soup.

Now when I hear such sarcastic remarks, I feel the anger in my heart is growing bigger and bigger.

"Zhang Xiaochun, there's a rag over there, take it back."

Zhang Xiaochun looked puzzled: "What do I need a rag for?"

Xu Xingchen said calmly, "Of course we're waiting with our eyes open. Don't let us make irresponsible remarks when the dress we made is chosen and we get the reward."

When the others heard this, they all laughed out loud.

Wang Xiumei's voice was the loudest, deliberately saying, "I think Sister Xu is right! Some people just can't stand seeing others do well. They have nothing better to do than come out and talk nonsense. Alas, they've become gossips at such a young age. What will they do when they get married? Don't let your tongue stick out so long that you end up hanging yourself."

Then Wang Xiumei turned to Erya and said, "Girl, you must not learn from this person."

Erya nodded very understandingly: "I know, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"What a good kid, much smarter than some people."

Zhang Xiaochun was so angry when he heard these words that his face turned green.

"You...you guys teamed up to bully me. Do you still have any shame?"

This is what's called "turning the tables" (turning the tables). Xu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "If you don't know what's going on and are just asking for trouble, don't blame others for actually scolding you."

Zhang Xiaochun stomped his feet fiercely and wanted to hit someone, but he didn't dare to go because there were so many of them.

Finally she ran away in shame.

Looking at this scene, Xu Xingchen finally felt better and his depression was swept away.

"Sister Xu, I don't quite understand this part. Can you teach me?" At this time, Wang Xiumei came over with embroidery and asked for advice.

Xu Xingchen explained the needlework in detail. She nodded repeatedly, untied the previous threads, and started embroidering the flowers again.

"Xiumei, I have something to ask you."

Xu Xingchen hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the question in his mind, "Who gave you the mung bean soup that everyone drank that day? Did you accept his pursuit?"

Wang Xiumei's subordinate paused and shook his head: "I didn't agree to him. Who would like a man like Zhang Tiansheng?"

Xu Xingchen was a little surprised: "Zhang Tiansheng? Wasn't the person who brought you the mung bean soup my cousin Jun Haoyue?"

Wang Xiumei was also confused.

The two discussed the matter for a while, and finally, based on what Jun Haoyue said, they came to the conclusion: the mung bean soup was made by Jun Haoyue, but was taken away by Zhang Tiansheng using some means.

Wang Xiumei was furious: "No wonder Zhang Tiansheng refused to reveal the origins of the mung bean soup that day. It turns out he was guilty!"

After hearing this, Xu Xingchen felt a little guilty. What should she do? It seemed like she had misunderstood Jun Haoyue's feelings!

"I'm here to bring you some mung bean soup."

What you fear will come true. Xu Xingchen was still thinking about how to face Jun Haoyue when he returned, when someone came with a pot of mung bean soup.

For the first time, Xu Xingchen felt ashamed.

What should she say?

Seeing her silently lowering her head, Jun Haoyue didn't say much. In the past two days, he had become accustomed to Xu Xingchen's sudden coldness.

Maybe it’s because those days women have every month, it will be fine after it passes, Jun Haoyue explained very considerately.

He reminded me, "Take care of yourself and don't get too tired. I've left some mung bean soup here, drink it when you're thirsty. I'm going to work." After saying that, he left.

The women who worked together gathered around and chattered.

The general meaning is that she envies Xu Xingchen for having such a good cousin who cares about her.

These words made Xu Xingchen even more depressed.

Alas, I am ashamed!

On this day, Xu Xingchen finished work early, then went to the market in the next village and bought half a chicken to make chicken soup.

Since she couldn't even say an apology, she decided to use chicken soup as compensation! She also made some delicious food for Jun Haoyue.

When people came back, there were four dishes and a soup on the table.

Jun Haoyue was stunned at the time: "Xingchen, why did you cook so many dishes today?" Usually, two dishes and a soup are enough for the two of them.

Xu Xingchen glanced at him and said, "Don't ask too many questions, just eat!"

While eating, Jun Haoyue felt what it meant to be passionate.

Xu Xingchen specially served him a small mountain of rice, and the dishes on the table were deliberately pushed to his side, especially the chicken soup, a whole bowl of which was pushed in front of him.

Jun Haoyue was touched, but more confused.

Are all women who have their periods so fickle?

late at night.

Erya was sleeping, and suddenly she heard a strange sound in her daze.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw a dark shadow staring at her from the window.

Their eyes met and Erya screamed wildly.

Auntie Fat lived next door. When she heard the noise, she rushed over immediately. Seeing the shadow, she shouted, "Hurry up, someone come and catch the thief! There's a thief trying to steal something!"

It was late at night and Aunt Pang's loud voice was particularly piercing, and soon woke up everyone in the village.

Even Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue heard the noise, put on their shoes, and ran to Aunt Pang's house.

"Where is the thief?"

Auntie Pang pointed in a direction, and the others immediately grabbed their weapons and chased in that direction. Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue had just arrived, so they saw a dark figure when they passed by the village chief's house.

She immediately chased after him: "The thief is here!"

The thief seemed to be very familiar with the environment in the village and chose to run along the small roads.

There were several places that tall people could not pass through, so Jun Haoyue, who was chasing with Xu Xingchen, fell behind.

Xu Xingchen turned a corner and suddenly grabbed the thief.

Unexpectedly, the thief had a stone in his hand, and seeing that the situation was not good, he smashed it towards her face. Xu Xingchen was startled and was pushed down by the thief when she tried to hide.

My feet hurt a little, but I can still hold on. I can’t let the thief get away!

Xu Xingchen held on and tried to chase after him, but he was tripped by a stone and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Jun Haoyue caught up at this time and hugged her: "Xingchen, hold me tight."
